Opportunity starts with safe water

CEO Gary White, Actor Matt Damon and their Kansas City, Missouri based Water.org team empowers families with access to safe water and sanitation through affordable financing.

In their own words (https://water.org/about-us/)

We believe water is the way. To break the cycle of poverty. To protect and save lives. To make a bright future possible for all.

Access to safe water can protect and save lives, just because it’s there. Access to safe water has the power to turn time spent into time saved, when it’s close and not hours away. Access to safe water can turn problems into potential: unlocking education, economic prosperity, and improved health.

Every human being deserves to define their own future, and water makes that possible. We’ve transformed more than seven million lives with access to safe water and sanitation, and together we can reach even more people.

For more than 25 years, we’ve made it our mission to bring water and sanitation to the world. Founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, we pioneer market-driven financial solutions to the global water crisis.

CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD CLEANS UP OIL SPILLS

 

CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD CLEANS UP OIL SPILLS

Higea is an environmental engineering company utilizing the latest in magnetic polymer based technology to develop an innovative and sustainable solution for cleaning up oil spills. Higea’s magnetic polymer is applied over a spill area, exclusively absorbs oil, and forms a single, magnetic crust over the surface of the spill. The system can take contaminated water, magnetize the oil in the water, and then separate the fluids. This method is highly-efficient, can function in severe weather conditions, and is significantly less expensive than traditional oil recovery methods.
